Magical Pest Control ensures that children attending summer camp in Toronto and surrounding areas are safe from bed …

As thousands of children across the GTA prepare to spend nights in summer camp, Magical Pest Control and its certified bed bug detection dogs are making sure children are sleeping in a bed bug free environment

TORONTO, May 29, 2012 /CNW/ - "If you're among the thousands of parents preparing to send their children off to summer camp this year, make sure your children won't come home bringing more back than arts and crafts" says Alex Dayan, manager of Magical Pest Control.

Sleepover camps, like hotels and hospitals, can be dangerous breeding grounds for bed bugs. Because bed bugs can only travel by attaching themselves to the clothes and baggage of people, places of mass occupancy are the most common sources of inviting bed bugs into your home.

"Cautious summer camp directors will hire an expert bed bug detection team to perform quick bed bug inspections of their camps before and just after opening their doors to children," continues Dayan. "These inspections will assure camp officials and parents that the camp was bed bug free prior to kid's arrival and after the children have transported their baggage from home."

Magical Pest Control uses certified bed bug detection dogs to offer summer camps an accurate way to inspect for bed bugs. Magical's certified K-9 bed bug detection team is 98% accurate, compared to the 35% accuracy rate of traditional human inspection methods. Magical's K-9 bed bug detection team is able to inspect for bed bugs behind walls, baseboards, and under carpets without having to strip down a room, offering summer camps a non-obstructive way of thoroughly detecting bed bugs.

"As the bed bug epidemic still lingers in the city, we encourage all summer camps to hire an expert bed bug detection team to ensure the bed bug problem doesn't spread. And we encourage all parents to ask their summer camp if they have been professionally inspected for bed bugs," continued Dayan. "We also provide free bed bug consultations prior to service, and 90 day warrantees to ensure no return of bed bugs. Therefore, if camps are inspected and treated early they will have the assurance of being bed bugs free all summer."

New Dundee entrepreneurs tackle bed bug problem

NEW DUNDEE A New Dundee couple has developed an environmentally friendly trap to get rid of some nasty home invaders bed bugs.

The theory behind the trap is it thinks like a bed bug, says Roseanne Weber, who with her husband, David Weber, recently formed Be-Gone Inc., a company that makes the bed bug trap out of their small New Dundee plant.

The trap is made of cardboard and consists of a series of cavities which contain glue. The bugs crawl through the holes, and once inside, they get stuck on the glue and become trapped, David says.

They love cardboard, he says.

The traps are placed under the top corners of a mattress and are changed about once a week depending on the severity of the infestation. They also can be put in linen closets, sleeping bags, drawers, backpacks and luggage.

Used traps are then placed in plastic bags and thrown away. The product is biodegradable, non-toxic and recyclable.

While the incidence of bed bugs is on the increase in Waterloo Region, the pests arent as big a problem as in Toronto or Niagara Falls.

Traditional treatments involve steam and cryonite, which is basically dry ice, but they are costly and labour intensive.

David Weber says their product is more effective and less expensive, and can be used as an effective monitoring system before an infestation occurs. It can be used in homes as well as commercial properties, such as hotels, motels, dormitories, shelters and hospitals.

It is a very inexpensive insurance policy, he says.

Can a Glass of Wine a Day Keep the Bed Bugs Away?

By Brooke Borel, Life's Little Mysteries contributor

A bed bug nymph in the process of ingesting a blood meal from the arm of a voluntary human host.

The common bed bug mainly survives on human blood, but what happens when that human has upped his or her blood alcohol content with a few glasses of a nice red wine? New research from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln suggests bed bugs are not as fond of alcohol as their boozy hosts, which may lead to fewer bug bites.

According to the study, bed bugs prefer alcohol-free blood to blood with alcohol in it; the higher the blood alcohol concentration (BAC), the less the bugs eat. And, because there is a direct link between blood intake and reproduction rates, those bugs also lay fewer eggs.

"[Bed bugs] need a blood meal to grow and to molt and to reproduce," explained Ralph Narain, a Ph.D. candidate who conducted the work as part of his dissertation. "And one of their main hosts are humans, and we consume a lot of stuff. Alcohol was one of the easier ones to start with."
